The main purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the relationship between flow and speed is assessed by means of simulation. Second, the effectiveness of some queueing based traffic models with state dependency is tested by comparing their outcomes to the recorded simulation-based results. It...

The formation of manufacturing batches, given arriving orders, is a general problem in practice. In essence, it constitutes a optimization problem. The goal for this problem however, may differ from perspective. Most commonly this problem is viewed from a cost-based perspective, where minimizing...
